Leonardo Balerdi scored in the 89th minute to secure a 3-3 draw for AS Roma at Napoli on Saturday, maintaining their unbeaten Serie A record. Scott McTominay had put Napoli ahead twice, but Roma fought back through Matias Soule and Balerdi's first goal before the defender's late header completed the comeback. Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini praised his team's resilience after trailing at halftime.
The draw leaves Roma four points behind Lazio, who claimed the league's top spot with a 2-1 victory over Parma at the Stadio Olimpico. Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring for Lazio in the 51st minute, followed by an own goal from Diego Carlos. Lazio hold a three-point advantage over reigning champions Inter Milan, who face Fiorentina on Sunday.
Napoli remain ninth, 11 points adrift of leaders Lazio, after dropping points to the capital club. Roma extended their undefeated start to eight matches, while Lazio have conceded only two points from their first eight games this season.
